Treatment for brain hypoxia in premature infants

We all know that if a baby is born prematurely without a normal time, it will be very bad for our child's body and may cause a series of diseases in our child. Brain hypoxia in premature babies is one of the very serious conditions. For this situation, we must find effective methods for treatment in time. Maybe many of us do not have a clear understanding of the treatment methods for brain hypoxia in premature babies. Let us learn about the treatment methods for brain hypoxia in premature babies.

1. For the case of neonatal brain hypoxia, it is necessary to actively treat it as soon as possible. General treatment can include oxygen inhalation, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, etc. Actively prevent and treat cerebral edema. If neonatal convulsions occur, anti-treatment should be given.

2. Newborns with brain hypoxia generally experience irritability or drowsiness after birth. Mild cases may cause central respiratory failure, respiratory arrhythmia, apnea, nystagmus, pupil changes and other manifestations of brainstem damage. It is also important to actively carry out treatment and do preventive work in advance to reduce the situation of brain hypoxia in newborns. Once fetal distress is detected, oxygen should be provided to the mother immediately, and preparations should be made for resuscitation and oxygen supply to the newborn, and treatment should be given as soon as possible.

3. Prolonged brain hypoxia can cause irreversible damage or even brain death. General "hypoxia in the body" can cause damage to health even if it does not directly endanger life. Oxygen, like food and water, is a key substance for human metabolic activities and the first requirement for life movement. Nutrients must be oxidized to produce and release chemical energy.

4. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can be divided into mild, moderate and severe encephalopathy according to clinical manifestations. The mortality and disability rates of severe encephalopathy are high. Even with early and active treatment, the incidence of poor prognosis is also high. The incidence of poor neurological prognosis of moderate encephalopathy is about 50%. Mild encephalopathy has a better prognosis and generally does not have a poor neurological prognosis. As long as the newborn has perinatal hypoxia injury, he or she needs to be hospitalized and closely monitored in the NICU in the early postnatal period, the condition needs to be assessed, and active and timely treatment is required.

The above content introduces us to the treatment methods for brain hypoxia in premature infants. These methods can effectively help us reduce the troubles caused by the disease, help us recover our health faster, and reduce the troubles caused by the disease to our newborns. At the same time, we should try our best to do the relevant care work before the baby is born.
